Oh, Craig, I don't know what to say except I know the pain and how hard this was to go through. Annie, like my Maggie, was one of the long timers here and through her journey taught so many others the way to go through you. There are no words to ease this or make it better right now. Just know, you are in my thoughts and I am grieving for you and Linda right now. It took me some time and distance to be able to look back on Maggie's journey with more joy than tears and I still have my moments.

Annie was a great friend and family member to you guys but now she can eat to her hearts content and run free of pain, needles, and the confusion of dementia. Hugs to you, my friend!

Craig
I am so sorry to read this news about your little Annie. You looked after her so devotedly and I am sure she will have known how much she was loved right to the end.

I am sure that you and Annie have helped many many people over the years, including us, with all your wise advice and encyclopaedic knowledge on meters and testing.

It's tough getting used to not having to look after a diabetic doggy; I am still adjusting to not having to fit our entire schedule around Eddie's food, insulin and testing regime. It's undeniably easier but we'd all do it again in a heartbeat if we had the chance.

OH my heart....I just popped on here as I was wondering what was happening with the veterans. I am just so sorry to hear of our Annie's passing. Craig - hugs to you and your family. So very sorry for your loss....as well as ours <3

So very sorry to read about Annie's passing. It doesn't matter how long they are with us, it is never long enough. And when they journey on and leave us they take a piece of our heart with them. Run free sweet Annie💕

Oh Craig. I'm sorry to be over a month behind in catching up and reading this. As Natalie said, Annie must hold some kind of record for the length of time she had diabetes and her age is a testament to your love and care. Sending you warm thoughts and well wishes as I know the sadness and hole she leaves is long lasting.
Patty
